All the windows in my house slide sideways so I can't clamp down on a window unit. Is there a way to fill the height gap for a 32.5" tall window?

YesI had to fill in with appropriately sized pieces of wood and insulation material.

I would.use plywood, or several pieces of wood that fit the depth of your window sash. Remember to also seal the wood, and provide insulation on at least the outside. It would also be prudent to install several security mesures to prevent entry, or theft of the AC unit. Some.simple window locks, and bar woild be a good start. This unit uses a lot of power, so look at how much power you have on the circuit alreaty.

I can only say to go to HomeDepot or Lowes for best way to fill the gap. It was suggested to use plywood and insulation.

If your window is a vertical opening, you can get by without anything. Make sure that the top window slides down to hold the unit in place. Ron

It does have slide out sides to fit the window. They also accordion from the unit in case you have a smaller window.

If you mean sliding glass doors or windows that slide sideways, then, yes, the adapter included with our unit would fit. It's a long panel and infinitely adjustable.

We have ours in our side-sliding window. It IS possible to install it that way, but you will need to reinforce it if you're concerned about security or stability issues. Also, the panel that's included for top sliding windows may or may not work -we had to custom cut a piece of plastic to fit and drilled it into the window frame.

We use tension to attach the unit in our window. It is in an upper portion of the window, with the lower window pane pushed up to support the bottom of the unit. However, we do recommend the use of strong wrapping tape (packaging tape) to help to support the unit so that it does not have any chance to fall.

I made a stick and stuck upright - that fitted real snug between the top of this and the window edge. So there was no way you could move it.

It's max window use is technically 36", obviously you could get some ply wood and paint and get creative to fill your gaps

You can either wedge a piece of wood between the window and the top casing or put a screw so the window cannot go up. However, the later may be a fire code violation, depending on where you live.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

Elisa, you can hang the unit in a window that short but you would have to remove at least 1 shelf and you would have a lot of cable extending from the bottom. The cable can be tucked up, we show how to do this in the instruction manual which you can download from our web site (beautifulviews.net) but a much neater solution would be to talk to us personally for a custom solution.You can mount the shelves without the window casing, give me a call or email and I will be better able to discuss what would best for your particular situation.Jim, OwnerBeautiful Views

There are panes that can be attached to the unit which fill the open area and seals the window to prevent loss of cooling air. I suppose this is what you mean by "slide out sides". Let me know if this helps.

Yes, I have mine set up that way. It would help if you had something to keep the window in place if it's not heavy enough (I use a sliding window lock that screws in).

The windows are Velcro so you can not roll them up with it you could just take them off all together, Please let me know if this helped any? Jamie

Yes, I can lower and raise the window easily because the door guard FALLS OFF too easily! I have stopped using them because they are just a nuisance and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to anyone.

make certain the front top part is correctly fitted when closed... then tap the window to see if the window will swing in arch.... the fit of the top section is crucial (in my experience)..... good luck

In my experience, there's no direct way. But I use this with a sliding glass door; I put it all out so that the entrance is inside the house a bit, then close the door so there's no space between. Seems to work well!
